About Us

PINTL + KEYT is a new ethical brand, based in Chicago. We currently offer ready to wear garments for women. Our garments are made with organic cotton, original textile designs / prints, and are ethically manufactured in India.

PINTL + KEYT, was founded in 2015 by designer sisters Shifra and Leah Whiteman. We are a design collective that includes the sisters and Katie Chappuis.

PINTL means a point and KEYT loosely translates to connection in Yiddish (Shifra and Leah's first language). First and foremost, we are a design collective; each with very distinct style and direction. Through collaboration we use inspiration from across the spectrum to push us forward and tell a story.

Driven by a desire to change the socio-economic and environmental effects of fast fashion, we at PINTL + KEYT strive to produce products in the most sustainable and responsible manner. We take pride in using organic materials and in paying those who produce our products at Work+Shelter, a livable wage.
